The Little Book of 101 Wise Words for Children

“A child is not a child if she does not know the meaning of fun.”

“When the child knows how to have fun, it cushions him to the ups and downs of life.”

Dear Child,

From the moment you were born, no matter where you came from, you have alongside within you a power waiting to be unleashed. The world is your playground and like the rainbows that you see behind the clouds, you can apply as many colours as you wish to make your own life colourful.

You are loved and every small step that you make counts. Once you dream, you should not be afraid to make that first step. Whether or not someone believes in you, but your dream is true to you, then do not be shy and give it a try. For every huge success started from that first, small step.

It is for you that I wrote this book to have fun and be free to pursue your dreams and to live life happily!
